What we do

The Community Foundation of Singapore was founded in 2008 to encourage and enable philanthropy in Singapore. Since then, we have set up 143 donor advised funds, raised $169 million in donations and given out some $90 million in grants.

We match donors’ interests with causes and offer ways for them to make a greater impact through their charitable funds. With our deep understanding of local issues and evolving needs, CFS identifies gaps and opportunities in the community to foster more effective giving.

We engage with over 400 charity partners to identify programmes that impact diverse communities. More importantly, we manage funds and grants with a high level of accountability, so donors can be assured their gifts create lasting benefit.

By enabling real and meaningful change, CFS hopes to inspire a philanthropic culture and build a more caring and cohesive society in Singapore. CFS is a registered charity with Institution of Public Character status.
